275: Upper Institute

Chapter 275: Upper Realm Research Institute

At this moment, what he originally thought was a great crisis turned out to be another stroke of good fortune.

This made him can't help but have a premonition that he was definitely a favored child, blessed by the Law of the Mysterious Abyss.

At this rate, perhaps in the future he could also advance into the Heavenly Domain like the great Abyssal Demon Lord, attain the Great Dao, and become another True God of this era!

The gloomy man grew more excited the more he thought about it, his fierce eyes greedily scrutinizing the powerful painting spirits before him.

Mine! Mine! All mine!

It proved that he indeed had a bit of 'Heaven's Mandate' on him.

It was just that the direction of this 'Heaven's Mandate' deviated somewhat from what he had expected.

Boom!

King Qinguang's sky-covering hand ruthlessly slammed down from above.

The Undead System Spirit Beast was instantly slammed into a 'dog eating shit' posture.

"Awoo—!"

The Undead System Spirit Beast, getting up in a disheveled state, roared in fury, baring its fangs at King Qinguang above.

Then a dazzling light struck, blinding its dog eyes instantly.

Following that, two golden lights whistled in, accompanied by the trembling roar of a Dragon.

Crack!

When he recovered from the dazzling light, he saw a surprising scene, "Huh~ Isn't this my belly and hooves?"

The Undead System Spirit Beast was greatly alarmed, realizing its head had been separated from its body.

No panic, no panic, there was still the great Abyssal Demon Lord's 'Undying Soul' to back him up.

Unfortunately, before the 'Undying Soul' Law could restore his body, a group of Undead System scrolls, 'beating gongs and drums, playing instruments and singing,' appeared around him.

It was precisely the professional team, the Ten Yama Generals.

Soul-summoning banners, mourning staffs, demon-suppressing bells... various magical Dao items interacted, forming a unique power that made him feel an inexplicable sense of peace and comfort, and he deeply fell asleep.

The body of the Undead System Spirit Beast was gradually transcended and dissipated, and its Undying Soul Origin condensed into a walnut-sized Law crystal.

"Tsk tsk, transcending Advanced monsters is indeed different, huh!"

The more powerful the bizarre creature, the stronger the effect of Undying Soul.

The Ten gold scroll Yin Generals worked together, and it actually took a full ten minutes to successfully 'transcend' it.

Wu Xian held this divine power fragment, carefully sensing and experiencing it.

"Oh~ There's even a thread of Luck intertwined within the Law framework, young man, you're quite capable!"

Jokingly, he decisively absorbed that wisp of 'Luck' into his natal god of wealth, which not only enhanced its spirituality but also seemed to subtly change the nature of its wealth Qi.

Soon after, his Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, who noticed the commotion, arrived late.

Seeing that both of them were unharmed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After learning what had happened, Xue Zhengying couldn't help but be secretly surprised, "The Abyssal Demon Lord is actually trying to win over us humans? Helping us modify Undead System scrolls?"

"There's definitely something fishy about this," Xue Lingling analyzed, "There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."

Kun Youniang, on the other hand, looked thoughtful, "Fishy isn't quite right; it's more like mutual benefit."

"Hmm?" Wu Xian and the other two were puzzled.

"It's similar to your human Divine Domain," Kun Youniang analyzed, "The Abyssal Demon Lord is likely trying to build a Divine Domain system with himself as the leader, embracing all rivers to seek higher levels and more comprehensive power."

Xue Lingling was greatly shocked, "Second Sister-in-law means that your True Gods from other realms also want to create their own Divine Domain system?"

"Although I'm very reluctant to admit it, your human Divine Domain system is indeed a very good idea," Kun Youniang said, "Especially from the perspective of the Three Gods, building a Divine Domain has many benefits."

"Ah? This, this, this..." Xue Lingling was full of doubts, "Then won't the Scroll Master world be in chaos from now on?"

"Hiss~ I'm afraid it has already begun," Xue Zhengying seemed to have thought of something, "I was wondering why the atmosphere of the League has been a bit off lately; so this is why."

Upon closer inquiry, they learned that the League situation has been somewhat chaotic recently, with many low-tier players suddenly rising to prominence.

Now that they thought about it, it was very likely related to the Three Gods.

After returning to the Club, they gathered Huang Lili, Xue Qingyang, and several other Gold Tier players to inquire about the situation.

The recent situation in the League was indeed not quite right.

Not only the Gold Tier League, but even the Copper Tier and Silver Tier Leagues in various places had started to become abnormal.

Only in Yaoyang City, the five old Clubs that were just coasting along had no movement.

But no movement now didn't mean no movement later.

"In subsequent matches, focus on Elf-type, Ocean-type, and Undead System scrolls. Oh, right, and also Rat-type scrolls," Wu Xian said seriously, "If you notice anything unusual, report it immediately."

"No problem," Huang Lili and the others obediently accepted the order.

Wu Xian's mood was secretly complex.

He originally thought the 'Three Gods' craze had passed, but he never expected that the 'Three Gods'' influence on the current pattern had only just begun.

"Do you think some people in the various Dojos might have secretly defected to or sided with the Three Gods?" Wu Xian speculated.

"It's possible," Xue Zhengying sighed helplessly.

Although he was very reluctant to admit and accept it, this was almost to be expected.

Especially for the new generation of low- and mid-tier Scroll Masters, the 'authority' and 'rule' of the Nine Great Academies' Divine Domain were being dismantled.

In the past, to rise, one had to pursue the Divine Domain of the Nine Great Academies.

But now, there were three new choices.

Just as everyone was chatting and discussing, Tang Beng walked out of the research lab, "Oh, is everyone here? Vice President, that data core has been cracked."

"Really?" Wu Xian was overjoyed, "What's inside?"

"I don't understand it. It seems to be all research data on monsters in the Endless Sea," Tang Beng pulled out a small computer and displayed the cracked data in front of Wu Xian.

Everyone present also gathered around curiously to watch, but unfortunately, no one understood it.

It was mostly complex research data and deep research into the otherworldly powers of the Endless Sea.

"Where did you get this from?" Kun Youniang's expression was strange.

"We snatched it from the Divine Dog Club team earlier when we were fighting the Deep Sea Demon Whale," Wu Xian said truthfully, "Is this research data from the Upper Realm?"

"No wonder it looks so familiar," Kun Youniang chuckled, "The Upper Realm has always been trying to figure out the difference between humans and other otherworldly beings. This is their research data."

Wu Xian suddenly understood, "Strange, why would research data from the Upper Realm appear in the Endless Sea?"

"Not just the Endless Sea, but all major other realms have them," Kun Youniang said calmly, "To avoid distortion and pollution, these secret Research Institutes were originally established within various other realms."

"So that's how it is," Wu Xian understood, "By the way, is this thing of any value?"

"It's naturally useless to you, but it's still very valuable to the Upper Realm," Kun Youniang smiled indifferently.

Hearing this, everyone naturally lost interest in this data.

But based on the idea that what the enemy wants, the enemy must not get, they would definitely target it.

In any case, they couldn't let the Upper Realm be comfortable.

A moment later, after sending away the irrelevant people in the Club, only those who knew Kun Youniang's identity remained.

Only then did Wu Xian curiously inquire, "Second Sister-in-law just said that these secret Research Institutes are hidden in various other realms?"

"Unless they have problems themselves, it's very difficult to find them," Kun Youniang sighed secretly.

"Alright then," Wu Xian regretted.

He had thought he could use these Research Institutes to get in touch with the so-called Upper Realm people in advance.
